It gives me great pleasure to report that Dan absolutely demolished his half marathon pb at the Dorney Half Marathon on the 23rd of May 21.
You may have already seen that I trained him to a massive 10k pb recently. Well this time he did it again and came home with an awesome 1 hour 45 minute 28 second pb, knocking a staggering 13 minutes and 55 seconds off his previous best! I am so pleased with how our journey has gone and I know Dan can continue to improve. However in true Dan fashion he wants more and more but for the time being I have him on a strict tick over plan so that he can recover and allow his body to settle. I have explained to him that you cannot keep pushing week in week out for many weeks without a period of recuperation or he will suffer burn out or worse still, injury.
In July we are going to start building towards the Amsterdam Marathon and a 3 hour 45 minute finish time. It is a high bar for Dan's first ever marathon but I am willing to train him to try and achieve it as long as he behaves from now until July!
